Review This Haunt
  • Don't miss this

    I went to Laurel's House of Horrors which also happens to be Halloween night. It was a special day there. I entered the house early keeping in mind, huge number of turnout. Actors there started to scare people in the line itself. Atmosphere there, seeing people scare in line is nice. Thing is that, I don't scare easily but the scares were so good that I jumped and screamed couple of times. I am a haunted house fanatic and I love to say this Laurel's House of Horrors is worth visiting. Halloween special night was amazing. Don't miss if you are near to this place.

  • Horrifying storyline

    Scintillating performance by all actors and actress at this haunt. Was there along with my girlfriend last weekend and we had a great time. Queue was long, but the performance inside the house made the wait fruitful. It’s an entire indoor event underpinned by different themed rooms and backed by a dangerous storyline. The actors were amazing as they were chanting my girlfriend name repetitively and she got damn scared. The staffs were cooperative and helpful in answering all queries. If you are a haunt freak, then this place deserves a visit!!

  • Scares are good

    After spending hours together at work place, finally I and my colleagues decided to have some weekend fun. We decided to try Laurel's House of Horrors after seeing some great reviews against its name.. All actors are really great. They entertain you with different antics when in line to not feel bore which is a good thing. They are really very energetic and we took some cool selfies with them. I am really impressed. Scares are good though. I recommend this house of horrors strongly. There is no exaggeration

  • Email Verified Perfect!!

    If escape rooms had intrigued you, this is the right place to visit. The haunted house gave us some nice scares. Me and GF did the room Seven Deadly Sins and the Race Against Jigsaw. The monsters and ghosts gave us a tough time. Sets and props were perfect. I must admit that the actors had done a great job. The prices were reasonable too… Check it out.

  • Plethora of surprises

    I had been here last year, but this year was fantastic, hence I am writing this. The haunted house got a new themed look and rooms were designed so well in correlation to background story that fear touched its peak automatically. The queue was long and VIP pass was my savior to skip the line and reduce the time waiting in the queue. The decorations inside the house was perfect and each twist gave rise to a unique fear. I screamed a lot and had a lot of fun. The duration wasn’t very long but adequate with plethora of surprises around every corner. Nice staffs and highly skilled professional actors in cool outfits and creepy make-ups. Definitely worth it, one can’t be disappointed!!

  • Email Verified All four attractions were unique

    We visited Laurel yesterday to explore its Escape rooms. We went in a group of six and booked the tickets by online mode. All the four attractions were very unique and varies in challenging level and scare factor. We did the race against the jigsaw. It was very interesting from the beginning itself as the puzzle was damn challenging and all clues weren’t appropriate to be used for solving, this is something unique. This was such an amazing experience. It took us around 45 minutes to crack the codes and solve the puzzle. Loved the decorations inside the room and all staffs were very helpful in clarifying the queries. Overall, a perfect hang out place to challenge the brain boasted with scare factor.

  • House full of horror

    Wow...it’s really a house full of horror. The ghosts, monsters and ghouls scared the wind out of us. The character Michael Mayer tried to scare me while waiting in the line. The escape rooms were amazing; the clues and puzzles were really hard to solve. Visual effects aided to the haunting experience. On the whole... an overall fun filled nerve racking journey. Will want more and will come back soon.

  • Terrifying to say the least

    Laurel’s House of Horror was one of the best haunts I have been to this year. The Escape Rooms confused us a lot. The Seven Deadly Sins was the most challenging and unique escape room in Laurel’s. It was also the scariest one among the Escape Rooms. The costumes/makeup of actors were terrifying to say the least. Staff were helpful as well. Overall, it was a good family friendly haunted house. I will visit again for sure.

  • Email Verified Recommend it

    We usually plan one haunted house visit every year. This time, we picked the Laurel’s House of Horror. I was accompanied by 2 friends to the house and we had great fun. Escape Rooms were thoughtfully designed to challenge you to find the way out. Scares added to the fun. The story line and theme of each room was different. I did the room Escape the Movies. The clues were really challenging. Overall, satisfied with the visit. Recommend it.

  • Email Verified Worst one

    Worst haunted house. The queue was brutal and it was hot inside the building. It reached to the point where we just wanted to get through the house and leave. The attractions and themes were average but unorganized this year. We as a small group going into the haunted house ended up being a group of about 12 at the end. Kind of just walked straight through the rest of it without even flinching. Not to mention, we walked into one of the rooms and the actor was texting on his phone. Not recommended!!

  • Email Verified A Scary Surprise

    Due to Bennets Curse being shut down this year, I chose to take my 48 yeasr old Sis to this Haunt instead by default. We were the first to arrive and allowed to go in alone. What a creepy attraction Laurel has. The staff were friendly and the actors did not hold back! We found ourselves laughing, screaming and running....even crawling at one point! Can't wait to return for the Escape Rooms! We found this refreshing at our 40ish age. Hats off.
